FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a Neurosurgeon?

A Neurosurgeon is a physician who has received specialised training in diagnosing and surgically treating disorders of the brain, spine, and nervous system. They perform both emergent and elective surgical procedures on the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

What conditions does a Neurosurgeon treat?

Neurosurgeons treat a comprehensive range of neurological conditions that may include:

Brain tumors (benign and malignant)
Traumatic injuries to the spinal cord or vertebrae
Herniated discs, spinal stenosis
Cerebral aneurysms and other vascular malformations
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Trigeminal neuralgia and other facial nerve disorders
Compression or injuries to the peripheral nerves
Hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation
Degenerative disorders of the spine (cervical/lumbar)

When should I see a Neurosurgeon?

If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you could benefit from a consultation with a Neurosurgeon:

Back or neck pain lasting longer than a few days, along with nerve-related (numbness, weakness, and tingling) symptoms
Headache, dizziness, or seizure that has returned after weeks, months, or years
Sudden loss of balance, vision, or coordination
Facial pain or spasm
Symptoms that arise after a recent head or spinal trauma
Diagnosis of a brain or spinal tumor on imaging

What is the difference between a Neurologist and a Neurosurgeon?

A Neurologist will diagnose and manage neurological conditions with medical management and non-surgical approaches. A Neurosurgeon will provide surgical intervention when medical treatment fails or when surgery is the best management for (to continue)

What types of surgeries does a Neurosurgeon perform?

Neurosurgeons provide many other advanced procedures, such as:

Craniotomy (for tumor or aneurysm surgery)
Spinal decompression and fusion, microsurgery for delicate structures of nerves and the brain
Endoscopic pituitary surgery
Vascular surgery for aneurysms and other malformations
Minimally invasive and image-guided surgeries of the spine
Microvascular decompression of trigeminal neuralgia.

Are all neurosurgeries of the brain?

Not at all. Neurosurgeons operate not only on the brain, but also on the spinal cord, spine, and peripheral nerves throughout the body. In fact, a large portion of neurosurgical practice is spinal surgery.

Are neurosurgical procedures safe?

Modern neurosurgery is highly advanced, with significant advancements in imaging, navigation, and microsurgery, all of which greatly enhance accuracy and safety. The risk is based on the condition, but the outcome is often excellent when handled by trained experts.
